Burger Babies

Fresh Buns are the first secret to these tasty little morsels. I always use my cinnamon bun recipe for the baby burger buns. (see recipe listed under yeast breads) I spray several 8x8" pans with PAM and pinch off golf ball size dough buns. I put 16 buns to a pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. You can freeze at this point to have on hand for later or use right aways.
The second secret is the caramelized onions.

In fry pan heat together

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

Add

1 large sweet onion or walla walla onion sliced into thin rings.

Saute on low-medium heat for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add 1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Continue to saute another 10 minutes on low heat.

*if onions look too dry add 1 tsp water

The third secret is fresh ground sirloin.

Make golf ball size meat balls and flatten to a small hamburger patty. Do not work the meat too much as this will cause a tough patty.

BBQ patties using your favorite BBQ sauce. You can also top with your favorite cheese at this point.

Slice buns open and lightly toast in oven just as patties are ready to come off the grill. Place the patties onto the toasted bottoms and top with caramelized onions and then the top of the bun.

Arrange on a serving tray and serve as an appy along with a tray of condiments of your choice.
